Iran’s Defense Strategy Now Extends Beyond Traditional Threat Zones, Leader’s Adviser Says

According to Saednews, Mokhber wrote on X late Sunday that Iran’s deterrence strategy now extends beyond regional boundaries, emphasizing that the origin, scale, or location of any threat would not limit Tehran’s response calculations.

His remarks came a day after Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei instructed Iran’s senior military commanders to prepare for a swift and forceful response to any enemy threat, regardless of geographical boundaries.
